Cepsa decals

Authentic Competitive Spirit: Cepsa Decals from Atalaya Decals

The Cepsa brand has been linked for decades to Spanish and international motorsport, appearing on the bodies of some of the most iconic cars that raced on Iberian circuits. With reference ADL0205, Atalaya Decals offers generic Cepsa decals, a fundamental resource for any modelling enthusiast who wants to faithfully reproduce the appearance of those single-seaters and touring cars sponsored by the oil company.

Features and Highlights

• Generic decals featuring the Cepsa logo and visual identity.
• Reference ADL0205 from Atalaya Decals, a manufacturer specialised in decals for slot and modelling.
• Designed to provide a clean finish, with colours true to the original sponsorship colour palette.
• Applicable using the standard water-slide technique: soaking in water, sliding onto the surface, and fixing with finishing products.

Applications and Compatibilities

These decals are designed for broad use within modelling and miniature decoration:

• Slot cars: customise bodies in 1:32 or 1:24 scale with Cepsa sponsorship, ideal for recreating period liveries from national championships.
• Static models: enhance the decoration of any scale kit with a recognisable sponsorship of great nostalgic value.
• Figures and dioramas: add signage, posters, or background details featuring the brand image in paddock, pit, or vintage petrol station scenes.

Application Tips

To achieve the best results with the ADL0205 decals, consider the following:

1. Apply a layer of gloss varnish to the surface before placing the decal; this facilitates sliding and prevents silvering.
2. Carefully cut each decal, leaving the minimum clear film possible around the design.
3. Soak the decal in lukewarm water for 15 to 30 seconds, until it slides freely from the backing paper.
4. Carefully position it on the body and remove excess water with a cotton swab or soft cloth.
5. Once dry, fix with a setting solution like Microsol/Microset or with a layer of matte or satin varnish from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo to integrate the decal into the paint.

Ideal for…

The enthusiast who wants to add authenticity to their recreations of Spanish competition: from touring cars of the Spanish Championship to the GTs of the 80s and 90s. Also for the collector restoring a classic slot car and needing to replace the original decoration of oil sponsors with which they left the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions

On what materials can I apply these decals?

Water-slide decals work on any smooth, painted, and varnished surface: plastic, resin, metal, or polystyrene bodies. The key is that the surface is sealed with gloss varnish before application.

What scale do the ADL0205 decals cover?

Atalaya Decals does not specify a single application scale for this generic reference; as they are sponsorship decals, they can be adapted to different scales depending on their use. Check the dimensions of the file or printed sheet to verify the proportion that best fits your project.

Do I need any special product to fix them?

It is not essential, but it is highly recommended. A decal setting solution (like Microsol) helps the film conform to textured surfaces or curved panels. Always finish with a layer of finishing varnish to protect the decal and unify the appearance of the paint.

Can I combine them with other decals from Atalaya Decals?

Yes. Decals from the same brand generally share the same type of film and thickness, so the behaviour during application is consistent. It is common to combine several references to recreate a complete livery with multiple sponsors.

Are they suitable for use in slot racing?

Yes, as long as they are properly fixed with varnish and no edges protrude that could peel off during racing. A good final seal ensures durability even on track.
